KISS to celebrate arena football team with acoustic concert

While KISS won't be performing at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, the band does have a special show coming up in April.

The group is slated to play an acoustic concert at the San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino in Highland, California.

"An Acoustic Evening with KISS" will feature the band without makeup, playing unplugged versions of their biggest hits and sharing some of the stories behind the songs.

The concert is celebrating the launch of Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley's arena football team, L.A. KISS. The concert is set for April 3rd, just two days before L.A. KISS plays its first home game.

And UltimateClassicRock.com says the cameras will be rolling when KISS hits the stage. AMC is crafting a new reality series around the team's inaugural season. Network exec Eliot Goldberg says the still-titled series will present "all the trials and tribulations of launching a sports franchise in a great sports city like Los Angeles." AMC is expected to roll out the series this summer.
